PsShutdown

PsShutdown is a command-line software utility that was built specifically to aid people in shutting down or logging off the local or a remote computer.

The perks of portability

The setup process is not a prerequisite, as this tool is portable. As a consequence, it is not going to add any new entries to the Windows registry without your approval, and no leftovers will remain on the HDD after its removal.
Another important aspect is that you can easily move the program files to a USB thumb drive and run it from there on any computer you have access to.

Operations you can take advantage of and on-screen instructions

As stated previously, this application enables you to shout down or log off a PC by connecting remotely to it. Aside from that, it is also possible to abort a shutdown while the countdown is in progress, suspend the computer and even force running apps to close.
You can hibernate a remote machine, lock it, reboot and create a message to display it on the PC you are connected to, for a specified number of seconds.
It is important to keep in mind that this program is going to display a list of all the actions you can take and the exact form in which to write the commands. Further instructions will be displayed in the main window, and thus all types of users can learn how to handle PsShutdown.
